The old road that connects in Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, and Danyang, North Chungcheong Province, and the old road at the foot of Sobaeksan Mountain is 2.8km 50minutes away from Heereok Station, Neutijaengjumakteo, Jukryeongmaru. It's good to walk freely because its natural appearance is preserved. Listening to the sound of the wind, the sound of the birds, and the water of the valley, you can see the nature and take a rest at the spacious inn. Hiking Course: Hiking Support Center~It takes 10.6km and 4 hours and 30 minutes from Hee-Ra, Yeonhwabong, Jukryeong Rest Area. It is good to climb Sobaeksan Mountain and take a walk around Sobaeksan Jarak-gil.

An UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, the Hallasan National Park is loaded with walking trails and is home to South Korea’s highest mountain named the Shield Volcano Hallasan. You’ll find about 1800 different kinds of plants and a number of alpine animals along the way up. The park is a unique place for nature lovers. Settled right in the heart of Jeju island, this park with high density woods and blooming hillsides is concidered as a treat to be at. Transportation: start with chosing a right trail for you. There many different ways up to the mountain, but only one of them will bring you to the summit. To get to the entrance you’d probably need to take one of the public busses or rent a car. Both options are convenient. Equipment: You’d definitely need to be prepared for a long and tiring walk. All the trails are devided into segments, based on their difficulty. Some of the parts of the trail would be paved, some wouldn’t be equipped at all. You’d be grateful for those parts where you’d be able to walk and step on the wooden bridges and paths. But except those short and the easiest parts of the way, you’d need to climb on the steep and narrow rocks, hop along cobblestones and boulders. Timing: don’t rush, remember when you’re on the top, that was only a half of your journey. There is the same long way down the mountain when you’re on the summit. Tips: be prepared for considerable change of the temperature and other weather conditions. We started in a pleasant sunny day and finished when it was drizzling and the fog was literally embracing us. Add up some wind and decreased temperature and you’re almost in our shoes out there. You’d definetely need to wear tracking boots or something alike, protecting and supporting your feet well. Otherwise you risk hurting your ankles and knees. (as us, cause we were not prepared) You’d also want to change your clothes after 6-7 hours tracking up and down this mountain. Believe me you’ll be sweating af.

One of the most popular pastimes in Seoul is hiking and this stunning national park just outside the city is a local favorite. Aside from a variety of hiking trails for every skill level, you’ll also see lots of flora and fauna, temples and ancient fortresses.

great hiking and scenery. Peaceful. AFAIK, it's a completely healthy and wholesome day out in nature.
